Description
~L~9~7~3 P.C. 7006A/7013 This invention relates to novel heterocyclic oxophthalazinyl acetic acids useful in the treatment of certain chronic complications arising from diabetes 5 mellitus, such as diabetic cataracts, retinopathy and neuropathy, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to a method of using these compounds.
In the past various attempts have been made to 10 obtain more effective oral anti~diabetic agents.
Generally these efforts have involved synthesis of new organic compounds, particularly sulfonyl ureas, and determination of their ability to substantially lower blood sugar levels when administered orally. However, little is known about the effect of organic compounds in preventing or alleviating chronic complications of diabetes, such as diabetic cataracts, neuropathy and retinopathy. U.S. Patent No. 3,821,383 discloses aldose reductase inhibitors like l,3-dioxo-lH benz-20 [d,e~-isoquinoline-2-~3H)-acetic acid and derivatives thereof to be useful for the treatment of these conditions. U.S. Patent 4,226,875 teaches the use of spiro-oxazolidinediones for treating complications of diabetes as alaose reductase inhibitors. Such aldose 2sreductase inhibitors function by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme aldose reductase, which is primarily responsible for regulating the reduction o aldoses, such as glucose and galactose, to the corres-ponding polyols, such as sorbitol and galactitol, in 30humans and other animals. In this way unwanted ~ ~3 :

accumulations of galactitol in the lens of galactosemic subjects and of sorbitol in the lens, peripheral nervous cord and kidneys of various diabetic subjects are prevented or reduced. Accordingly, such compounds are of therapeutic value as aldose reductase inhibitors for controlling certain chronic diabetic complications, including those of an ocular nature, since it is known in the art that the presence of polyols in the lens of the eye leads to cataract formation, with a concomitant loss of lens clarity.
U.S. Patent 4,251,528 discloses aromatic carbo cyclic oxophthalazinyl acetic acids having aldose reductase inhibiting properties. ~he patent mentions that 2-(2-pyrid-2-ylethyl)-3,4-dihydro-4-oxophthalazin-1-ylacetic acid does not inhibit aldose reductase.
Heterocyclic oxophthalazinyl acetic acids and their ethyl esters having an effect on the blood clotting system are disclosed in Chemical Abstracts 73, 77173y (1970~.

~ --10 ~2~7~3 When reacting compounds (IV) wherein R' is methyl or ethyl, the process is generally carried out in a polar solvent such as an alkanol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methanol or ethanol, dioxan, dimethyl-S formamide, or dimethylsulfoxide, in the presence of a base. Suitable bases are alkali metal hydride or alkoxide of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as sodium or potassium hydride, methoxide or ethoxide. When a hydride is used, a non-aqueous solvent such as di~
methylformamide is required. When reactin~ compounds (IV~ wherein R' is hydrogen, obtained on hydrolysis of compounds lIV) wherein R' is methyl or ethyl, it is necessary for at least two molar equivalents of the base to be present, since the first molar equivalent reacts with the carboxylic acid radical of such a compound. In addition, when reacting such compounds, it is preferable to use a hydroxylic solvent to minimize production of a corresponding ester.
The reaction to form compounds ~V) wherein R5 is alkyl is preferably performed with compounds of formula L-CH-Z-R2 wherein L is OSO2R6 wherein R~ is as defined above. This reaction is generally conducted in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethylformamide at t~mperatures of 20 to 50C.
The reaction to form compound (V~ may be at room temperature, or at higher temperatures to accelerate the process.
The compounds of formula V wherein R' is methyl or ethyl may be hydrolyzed to obtain compounds of formula --ll ~9~
I wherein Rl is hydrogen. The hyarolysis pxoceeds at conventional temperatures and in the presence of acid or base such as a mineral acid, for example hydrochloric acid, or an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate such as sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate. The reaction is carried out in the presence of water and a solvent, for example an alkanol of 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methanol, or dioxane.
The compounds of formula I wherein R1 is hydroxyl may be esterified by conventional methods such as reaction of the corresponding acid chloride, bromide or anhydride with Rl~ to obtain compounds (I1 wherein R
is an ester prodrug group. Alternatively, the compounds of formula I in which R1 is an ester prodrug group may be prepared by alkylating a solution of the sodium salt of a compound (I) wherein Rl is hydroxy.
The alkylating agent may be a chloride. For instance, when Rl is benzyloxy, acetoxymethyl, or pivaloyloxy-methyl, then the alkylating agent is benzylchloride, chloromethylacetate or chloromethylpivalate, resp-ectively. The above sodium salt is generally prepared in situ by reacting a compound (I~ wherein Rl is hydroxy with a sodium salt forming compound such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydride or sodi~n t-butyl-ammonium sulfate in a non-aqueous solvent such as dimethylformamide or methylpyrrolidone.
When Rl in compounds of formula (Il is an amide prodrug group such as di(Cl-C~)alkylamino, a compound (I) wherein R1 is (Cl-C4~alkoxy is converted to the corresponding amide by reaction with an amine, e.g.
di(C1-C4)alkylamine.
The compounds of formula I wherein X is sulfur are prepared by thiating the corresponding compounds (I) wherein X is oxygen by known procedures, for example by reaction with phosphorus pentasulphide.
The compounds of formula L-ICH-Z-R2 when L is chloro, Z is a covalent bond, R5 is hydrogen, and R2 is oxaæole or thiazole condensed with Y wherein Y is a 6-membered aromatic group containing one or two nitrogen atoms, or with thiophene or with urane, each optionally substituted by one of fluoro, chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl, methylthio or methylsul~inyl; or 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl or 1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl op~ionally substituted by R7 wherein R7 is one of iodo or trifluoromethylthio, or one or two of fluoro, chloro, bromo, (Cl-C4)alkyl, (Cl-C4)alkoxy, (C.L-C4)-alkylthio, (Cl-C4)alkylsulfinyl, (C1-C4)alkylsulfonyl or trifluoromethyl, may be prepared by reactîng compounds of the formula ~ C-NH2 ~ NH2 VI VII
wherein X is O or S, and Y and R7 are as defined above, with tri((Cl-C4)alkoxy)CH2Cl. This reaction generally proceeds in a reaction-inert solvent such as a (Cl-C4) alcohol e.g. ethanol, halocarbons e.g. chloroform or methylene chloride, or ethereal solvents such as diglyme. The reaction temperature ranges from abou~
room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent used. The reaction time may range from about 15 minutes to about 2 hours or more.
The starting materials (VI) and ~VII~ are either commercially available or may be prepared according to standard procedures, e.g. as descri~ed in J. Am. Chem.
Soc. 53, 309(1935~ and J. Org. Chem. 29, 265~(1964).
The tri((Cl-C4~alkoxy)C~2Cl compounds are either known or may be prepared by reacting ~,1,1-trial-9~ ~
koxyethane with ~-chlorosuccinimide, or with chlorine in pyridine and a chlorohydrocarbon solvent. The first chlorination reaction is generally carried out in a solvent, suitably a non-polar solvent such as carbontetrachloride or tetrachloroethylene. The reaction is conveniently carried out at temperatures ranging from about 40C to about the reflux temperature of the solvent. The reaction with chlorine in pyridine must be in the presence of a chlorohydrocarbon solvent havinq one or more chloro atoms and one to six carbon atoms, e.g. methylene chloride, chloroform or trichloro-ethane.
Reaction Scheme B exemplifies the preparation of 3-(benzothiazole-5-ylmethyl)-4-oxo-phthalazin-1-yl-ace-tic acid which is a compound wherein R2 is a benzo-heterocyclic ring with the benzo attached to the methylene bridge in the final compound. Other such compounds wherein R2 is a benzo--heterocyclic ring with the benzo attached to the Z in the final compound may be made by a similar method. In Scheme B, 5-methylbenzothiazole is reacted with a brominating agent such as N-bromosuccinimide to form 5-bromomethylbenzothiazole which is then reacted with 4-oxo-3~-phthalazin-1-yl acetate to form ethyl 3-(5-methylb~nzothiazolyl1-4-oxo--3H-phthalazin-l-yl acetate under condi~ions as outlined above with reference to Reaction Scheme A for the conversion of c~mpounds (IV) to compounds (V).

In the past various attempts have been made to 10 obtain more effective oral anti~diabetic agents.
Generally these efforts have involved synthesis of new organic compounds, particularly sulfonyl ureas, and determination of their ability to substantially lower blood sugar levels when administered orally. However, little is known about the effect of organic compounds in preventing or alleviating chronic complications of diabetes, such as diabetic cataracts, neuropathy and retinopathy. U.S. Patent No. 3,821,383 discloses aldose reductase inhibitors like l,3-dioxo-lH benz-20 [d,e~-isoquinoline-2-~3H)-acetic acid and derivatives thereof to be useful for the treatment of these conditions. U.S. Patent 4,226,875 teaches the use of spiro-oxazolidinediones for treating complications of diabetes as alaose reductase inhibitors. Such aldose 2sreductase inhibitors function by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme aldose reductase, which is primarily responsible for regulating the reduction o aldoses, such as glucose and galactose, to the corres-ponding polyols, such as sorbitol and galactitol, in 30humans and other animals. In this way unwanted ~ ~3 :

accumulations of galactitol in the lens of galactosemic subjects and of sorbitol in the lens, peripheral nervous cord and kidneys of various diabetic subjects are prevented or reduced. Accordingly, such compounds are of therapeutic value as aldose reductase inhibitors for controlling certain chronic diabetic complications, including those of an ocular nature, since it is known in the art that the presence of polyols in the lens of the eye leads to cataract formation, with a concomitant loss of lens clarity.
U.S. Patent 4,251,528 discloses aromatic carbo cyclic oxophthalazinyl acetic acids having aldose reductase inhibiting properties. ~he patent mentions that 2-(2-pyrid-2-ylethyl)-3,4-dihydro-4-oxophthalazin-1-ylacetic acid does not inhibit aldose reductase.
Heterocyclic oxophthalazinyl acetic acids and their ethyl esters having an effect on the blood clotting system are disclosed in Chemical Abstracts 73, 77173y (1970~.
